Bernice Ye - Naturalization Test (Extended Cut) Lyrics

Haha, this is me, Bernice
Allow me to introduce myself
Let me break it down and get into it
15 years I became a citizen
You're smiling and laughing
Honestly, you're so lucky to have me
So dope being in the U.S
Before it's official, there's one more step
I guarantee many could not pass
The naturalization test
Name three writers of the Federalist Papers
I wait
You should be Canadians
This is a joke
Your U.S. membership should get revoked
U.S. citizen, I'm the best
I killed the naturalization test
Who's the 8th president
Try to guess
I'm a real American, Oh, yes, yes
I studied so much
It's not funny
My nickname
They call me Lord Study
And I must be the best
I can't be the first Chinese to fail a test
Becoming a citizen's a whole process
I sat in the office and it went like this
Let me see your ID
Okay
So your name's Bernice?
Name three writers of the Federalist Papers
Better not fail
This is major
James Madison
Alexander Hamilton
John Jay
I can do this all day
You just learned American history, everybody
You're welcome
Look, have you ever been a rebel?
I was born a rebel
You like to start trouble?
Don't make me chuckle
Can we please end this discussion
You ever tortured anybody?
My husband
Do you have military training?
Oh, shit
I held a gun before I even held a chopstick
Military training was a part of life
But if they knew, they'd think that I'm a Chinese spy
So I lied to get your country
But can you blame me
It's so lovely
People ask me all the time
Things are so bad now
Why do you want to be an American?
Freedom
In China, if you don't conform
Four years old
I couldn't fall asleep during a school nap
And I was punished to stand barefoot
In the blazing sun for hours
I watched a movie with a boy when I was 16
And I had to apologize in public a thousand times
Freedom to make my own mistake
It's all I ever wanted
I came to this country, didn't speak English
And I'm doing stand-up comedy
That's the American dream
All these emotions came to a climax
As I opened a bottle of champagne in the parking lot
I broke into tears
My hands all shaking
It's so hard
To be a spy
US citizen
I'm the best
I killed the naturalization test
Who's the 8th president
Try to guess
I'm a real American
Oh, yes, yes
US citizen
I'm the best
I killed the naturalization test
Who's the 8th president
Try to guess
I'm a real American
Oh, yes, yes
